Never Mind

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really like this book. This book was written in the perspective of twins. Every chapter is written ether by Edward or by Meg. This book is funny because Meg makes up a twin sibling named Ted. Ted is actually Edward, but Meg pretends that Edward is a super star that goes to a very difficult school to get into. So Edward pretends to be Ted and creates a band called "Never Mind". Meg also comes up with the name "Never Mind" but Edward and Meg do not know that they came up with the same name for the band. So this story is about how the two make up a twin named Ted without each other knowing about it.

CSI: NEW YORK


CSI or Crime Solving Investigation is a tv serious where a bunch of people solve murders. And today I get to be one of the group. Why? Because I got the CSI= NY game for my computer. I will get to solve 4 crimes that were created by the writers of the show specifically for the game. I will get to investigate, use evidence, question suspects and capture the murderer. And all of this by being in the shoes of detectives Mac Taylor and Stella Bonasera. This will be so much fun!

My New Swiss Army Knife


Over the past week, I got a new Swiss army
knife. I got the knife from my mom. She got it at the gas station where they had a sell that if you get 20 stickers you get a discount on the Sw
iss army knife collection. Mine looks like this:
When I first got it, I started exploring it. This is what my Swiss army knife has:
1 big knife
1 medium knife
1 small knife
1 saw
2 can openers
1 pair of scissors
1 wine bottle opener
1 hook like object
1 toothpick
and 1 tweezers

It looks really cool, all red with the Swiss logo on it. I'm happy that I did not have to pay for it. :)

Percy Jackson Series



This books are my favorite series because it has a lot of action and it also teaches kids about Greek Mythology. It mixes action and learning and it makes reading, for me at least, really, really fun.

Friends


Friends. Life is nothing without them. You can count on them when your sad, or mad. There are always there for you. A good example of
that is the TV show "Friends". Even thought they argue sometimes, make fun of each other, or sometimes just want to give them a hug, they a
re always there for each other. They share emotions, laugh and cry together, and have fun. I want friend like them.

Summary of A Midsummer Night's Dream Act 1 Scene 2

In this scene 6 craftsmen are giving out parts for a play they are going to perform before the Duchess and the Duke on their wedding day. Quince is the head master, the one in charge and the one giving out the parts. Bottom is the "actor" that wants every part there is. He is to play Pyramus. Flute is the guy who has to play Thisbe, the lady Pyramus must fall in love with. He is not truly happy about this. "Nay faith, let me not play a women. I have a beard coming" is what Flute says when he is told he will play Thisbe's part. Starveling is the guy that will play Thisbe's mother. He is pleased to get this part. Snug is the idiot that has to play the lion. They will practice in the woods so no one will see them.

My Teacher Sees Right Through Me

I didn’t do my homework.
My teacher asked me, “Why?”
I answered him, “It’s much too hard.”
He said, “You didn’t try.”

I told him, “My dog ate it.”
He said, “You have no dog.”
I said, “I went out running.”
He said, “You never jog.”

I told him, “I had chores to do.”
He said, “You watched TV.”
I said, “I saw the doctor.”
He said, “You were with me.”

My teacher sees right through my fibs,
which makes me very sad.
It’s hard to fool the teacher
when the teacher is your dad.

by Bruce Lansky

Homework! Oh Homework!

Homework! Oh, Homework!
I hate you! You stink!
I wish I could wash you away in the sink,
if only a bomb
would explode you to bits.
Homework! Oh, homework!
You're giving me fits.

I'd rather take baths
with a man-eating shark,
or wrestle a lion
alone in the dark,
eat spinach and liver,
pet ten porcupines,
than tackle the homework,
my teacher assigns.

Homework! Oh, homework!
you're last on my list,
I simple can't see
why you even exist,
if you just disappeared
it would tickle me pink.
Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!

Princess in Waiting Review



I think this book is a very very good one, because in this book a young boy falls in love with a normal girl. Not for her beauty, or her smarts, just because he knows the real her. This book got me understanding that what matters is on the inside and not on the outside.

How to Eat a Poem - Parody

How to Rip your Homework

By Noam Landau


Don’t be quiet

Rip it up

Pick it up with your fingers and

Tear it up some more


It is dead now, when you make it.

You do not need scissors or a paper shredder

Just use your hands

For there is no test

or quiz

or exam

To study for.

This Is Just To Say- Parody

I have destroyed
your airplane
that was on your desk

And which
you were probably
saving
for school

Forgive me
it looked cool
and I was
3.

Death

The poem “Death” by John Donne is known to be a great poem for a lot of reasons. For example its unusual language use makes it a really unique. It is also great that the whole poem is actually one big metaphor.

One reason for this poem to be considered great is its unusual use of language. The language that is used in this poem is old English. It also does not have correct spelling. An example of the old English is “Death be not proud, though some have called thee”. An example of the unusual spelling is “And dost with poison, warre, and sickness dwell”. This poem is made of 3 lines only which are then turned into smaller lines.

Another reason this poem is considered great is that it is all one big metaphor. This poem is about how death cannot control natural death but can control artificial death.

Overall this poem is a great poem. For its language and metaphor.

My Childhood


My childhood is:
teddy bear

old, tall, gray
falling apart

lost in my house

Skeltonic

I saw a cat
with a bat
while wearing a hat.
The bat was sad
I was feeling bad
so i throw a knee pad pad
but it hit a lily pad.
It hit a frog
and fell into the bog.
Now I have to go
so i don't blow
the begging of the show.
